I'm curious - do turntable controllers consider the needle? I imagine a good turntable controller must have some sort of touch screen for the left hand, where you can "drop the needle" in different parts of a visual representation of the sound file. When I was a turntablist, I often thought of producing a record for other turntablists. (There's a name for those, I just can't think of it now.) Mine would've had one side be just locked grooves of chromatic and diatonic scales, so that one could play the turntable as a melodic instrument by dragging the needle across the grooves. Side 2 would've been split between sounds that scratch well (such as a person going "sssssss", "fffffffff" and "Shhhhhhh") and singular drum sounds that could be combined/looped to make rhythms. ...but I didn't have the idea until I was already migrating to drum machine, and I didn't know many turntablists at the time. -- Matt Davignon mattdavignon@gmail.com www.ribosomemusic.com Podcast! http://ribosomematt.podomatic.com http://www.youtube.com/user/ribosomematt On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 8:10 AM, Rainer Straschill <moinsound@googlemail.com> wrote: > Rick Walker schrieb: > >> I remember seeing Portisehead years ago where he >> had gone in and tracked individual tracks (like solo harmonica), >> pressed to vinyl and the scratched and pitch shifted it in to >> live tracks in a really amazing way. >> >> I remembered thinking >> 1) what a totally cool concept: create your own 'scratcheables' >> and >> 2) WOW!! you have to have a lot of money to do this. > > The solution that might have been used here is Final Scratch or a > competitor, where you use special timecode records, then send that > timecode > audio to a specific software, which you then use to playback any audio > file > according to how you move your vinyl.
